Dancing and partying is one my favourite hobbies. It makes me feel so good and it makes me happy. I’ve went to nightclubs and bars as a Christian and avoided dirty dancing most of the time but there have been a few times I fell into temptation and because of that i want to avoid those places to glorify God and avoid sin. But where else can I go to dance and party without being tempted into sin ?

Please define 'partying' :) ...

I sympathise with your dance hobby; moving on music is just lovely ... can you locate places where people enjoy dance without it also being a place for 'pick-ups' / intoxication / etc. ?

Any places where that is common are to be avoided I'd say.

Dancing I understand. But what do you feel defines or constitutes "partying"?

I'm asking because technically, I don't think there's not much we can do "out there" that we can't already do at home simply by inviting a few friends over, turning up the music, breaking out the d'oeuvres and whatnot, playing games, dance a little (like very little, really-----trust me, you don't want to see me dance) and be a little wild and humorous, etc. Have a good time!

Once, long ago, I went to a dance-nightclub ....... and it bored me to tears. The music was insanely loud, preventing a good discussion, which is odd for me to say because---------I typically like loud music.

And, there were a bunch of people out on the dance floor hopping around, gesticulating repeatedly up and down and around, which isn't a bad thing if a person needs a bit of cardio for a while. But to do that for hours on end? Oh, heck no. I'd rather watch John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever another time than go to a nightclub again. ^_^

Yeah, nightclubs aren't for me. Not simply because there might be drugs and sin there amongst the ranks of the initiated.

No, it's just boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But that would lead me into sin
Seeing you live in Ft Lauderdale I was wondering if you had a problem upstairs. I live in a small town and my Honey and I love to dance to Mexican music but no clubs. If you are afraid it will lead you somewheres why ask? I forgot to add house parties are good.

As far as dancing goes; join a community actors guild type group. (or a community / hobby dance studio). Then you can go out and perform with other people. I did something similar in college. Our voice class put on performances in nursing homes and stuff like that. It was a lot of fun!

Christian people should be focused on Jesus and producing fruit for God.
Galatians chapter 5 to document. The flesh is at war with the spirit.

Were not to get involved in worldly affairs. Documentation, read second Timothy chapter 2 .

Christian people should be profitable and productive Christian people. Documentation, Hebrew chapter 5 and James chapter 1.

God has no use for Christians who are wrapped up in ways of the world and illiterate of God's word. Get the picture. Amos chapter 5 to document.

God has no time for Christians who play church and give lip service. We can't play games with God.

Depends on what kind of dancing you are doing and how you define partying. Don’t forget your dance classes can be full of dirty dancing as well.

Your first question should be what the intent of your hobby?
